Initial Velocity and Launch Angle
•All objects at the beginning of their
projectile motion must possess a non-zero
initial velocity.
•The initial velocity can always analyze as
and resolved into two components:
horizontal and vertical velocities. This
is done by constructing a right-angled
triangle from vectors.

Motion
•Conventions for calculations
Initial velocity is typically written as u.
•Initial vertical velocity is typically written
as uy (subscript y is used to represent the vertical
rectilinear motion)
•Initial horizontal velocity is typically written
as ux (subscript x is used to represent the horizontal
rectilinear motion)
•The relationship between initial velocity, initial
horizontal and vertical velocity can always be
represented by the right-angled triangle where θ (as
shown in the diagram) is the launch angle at which
the projectile leaves the horizontal plane (usually the
ground).
The initial velocity can be negative because
the initial direction of a projectile can also
be downwards as shown below.

Motion SUMMARY
Motion in one dimension usually
involves objects that move in a straight
line whose the acceleration doesn’t
change over time.
Free fall is a motion where an object is
allowed to fall without any obstruction
friction and air.
Kinematic equations may be applied in

Motion
-Motion towards a straight line shows
one dimension.
-Motion in two dimensions indicates
that the movement has vertical and
horizontal components.
-Vertical component is the up and
down motion.
- Horizontal is the left to right or side

Projectile
Motion
The movement of an object that is
thrown or projected into the air at an
angle is called projectile motion. It is
the combination of horizontal and
vertical motion, where the horizontal
motion of a projectile is constant
because no gravitational force acts
horizontally while the vertical motion is
nothing more than free fall with a
Projectile
Motion
A projectile is any object that once
projected or dropped, continues in
motion by its own inertia and is
influenced only by the downward
force of gravity.
Trajectory, on one hand, is the
path taken by a projectile.
